Step zero. Find one or more people with the time to get it done.
Subsurface is written by a group of volunteers, doing this in their free
time. I could probably eventually get it done, but there's no guarantee
when.


Step one would be some documentation. How to read and write settings
to the computer. Whats the protocol? Which settings are there and how to
interpret the data.
The information doesn't need to be "public", but the code we write based
on it will be. As far as I know there is only one manufacturer which has
public documentation, and thats HeinrichsWeikamp. We have "non public"
documentation from more manufacturers, but its best if Ratio would be
willing to publish their documentation.


Step two would be a device to test it against. It doesn't need to be a
"full production" device, it could just as well be a device that failed
QA for reasons irellevant to program and test the code against. IE
consmetic defects, a couple of dead pixels on the display, uneven
backlight or such.
